Scripture:
“So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing.” 1 Corinthians 9:26 NLT
Observation:
Paul was telling the Corinthians not just to run God’s race, but to run the race to win the prize. In other words, don’t be half-hearted. He then went on with this verse in telling them that he runs the race with purpose in every step. For Paul, every step was filled with purpose. He was focused on winning the race and finishing well. He wanted to finish what Christ had asked him to do.
Application:
I need to live a more focused life. I want to finish everything God had for me and to do it well. Focus brings results and I want to see results for God’s glory and the extension of His kingdom. Therefore, I must live a more focused life with purpose in every step. I want to live a life of purpose and not just survive or get to the finish line. I want to win the race set before me and do everything God has called me to do.
Prayer:
Lord God Almighty, You are high and lifted up. You are great and glorious. You are my everything. Help me this morning to live a life of purpose and focus in every step I take. Help me to be productive for You and Your kingdom. Use my life for Your glory and empower me to live a life with purpose in every step.
Yours,
Jeff
